I have wanted to do a Kobukai Jujitsu blog for a while. But I never got to it – and then I was so amazed by the coolness of Trey Whitaker’s blog about our dojo – that I just let it go. I am not good at revealing thoughts. I am a pretty bad Facebooker – mainly because I dont want the world to know what I am thinking most of the time. I am very opinionated – and have learned over time to shut my mouth most of the time – because most of my thoughts would get me in trouble one way or the other. So – I have learned to listen to something one master told me a while ago – silence is the beginning of wisdom. I dont know if it is – or if its the beginning of frustration – but either way – it fits my personality. Although I truly love my students, and strive every day to make them the best they can be – I am actually a very private and happily solitary person. I have a small group of close friends who are the same. We are more like male lions, we stay fairly much to ourselves, acknowledge each other when we pass by, and occassionally feel the need to get together and make some noise. Other than that – I am fairly comfortable in silence, alone, at peace, out on the open road, or in the dojo.
So – I thought I would start this blog because I wanted to reveal at least a part of my thoughts to you – the jujitsu audience. I have many thoughts about how jujitsu should be, how it should be practiced, how training should be, what the martial art experience should be like, and how to make yourself as good as you can be in the dojo. I wanted to give insite into how I plan classes, how I approach individual students, how I deal with the challenges of running a dojo, and how much I love being there!
